[ECOS] newbie questions

[bier meister <desperadosmeister at yahoo dot com>]

Hi,

I am new to linux and eCos and i am trying to run a
"hello world!" application.

I am using SUSE 8.2 on an intel machine. My target
would be eventually the intel XScale(ARM).

I installed eCos and also compiled the gcc tools and
Insight.

I ran the ecos configuration tool and built the
libtarget.a (for the XScale platform)
I also built the tests.

Here is where i am stuck.

1. How can i run the tests if i do not have my HW so
far? (I ran one of the tests from Insight, but I got
only an empty main() function there).

1.a. When i run one of the tests on the simulator
using Insight, do I need to download also the
libtarget.a first?

2. How can I compile hello.c(found in the examples
directory) and run it on the simulator.

3. My libtarget.a is 8.5MB. Am I doing something wrong
here?

Thanks in advance.
